As far as I know, this isn't possible with plain HTML. It may be possible with CSS, but I'd have to look/play around to tell you for sure.
EDIT: This will pretty much do what you're wanting.. Just replace the [ and ] with the less-than and greater-than signs...

Ok first of all..
Putting images in the background aint really the best option..
The image is a fixed size youl have trouble when you get with Big pages with lots of text.
My advice -
1.Set a colour for a background, then a image (your guild name w.e with the same background as your form background.) at the top. this will save lots of problems for you.
2. If your not using CSS then use it, its an awsome language that wil again make your life easier and avoids clutter on your form page.
3. if your going to have multiple columns do not use tables please, their awful, same goes for frames. imo use float columns, im currently doing a A level project for my school using php / html / css and i can say that these float columns kick ass. you can give each individual columns their own unique style.
Sorry i cant help you with your problem, but gimme a pm and il be happy to help with w.e your stuck on

This is too true. If you seperate your content from your presentation into HTML and CSS, respectively, you can do some neat things.
I threw this page together one afternoon a couple years ago to play around with the content/presentation segregation.

The "Select a stylesheet:" is the neato part. You can drastically alter your entire site just by changing the CSS stylesheet pointer.

well thanks i am sure though that CSS is better but i am not in the mood to learn the whole language i might later but for a guidwebsite i can use my HTML knowledge it would be easier for me and my school work on top.
PS dont worry i will slice it to make it easier to load and make the quality a bit lower so it is not that big.
PSS plus i am not even sure that the webserver i use can do CSS!

Studies show that 92% of teens listen to rap. If you are part of the 8% that listens to real music the add this to your signature.

It's much easier than it sounds. And really you don't even need to learn the entire "language." The example I pasted above would do exactly what you asked (just change the brackets and change the image to be the one you want.

It would be pretty unlikely that it can't. Cascading Style Sheets have been around for over 10 years and are very widely used. Give it a try, it should take 5 minutes max to test out that code snippet and then you would know for sure.

perhaps put it in a table or just bring up the properties box for the image as an object and set it as a % there.
